Description

In this worksheet, students create an experiment for how a plant grows. They’re asked to identify all the relevant variables, consider wether they’ve created a fair test, and make a hypothesis based on what they already know.

Curriculum Codes

AC9S6U01 9

Investigate the physical conditions of a habitat and analyse how the growth and survival of living things is affected by changing physical conditions

AC9S6I06 9

Write and create texts to communicate ideas and findings for specific purposes and audiences, including selection of language features, using digital tools as appropriate

AC9S6I05 9

Compare methods and findings with those of others, recognise possible sources of error, pose questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions

AC9S6H01 9

Examine why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others

AC9S6I01 9

Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions

AC9S6I02 9

Plan and conduct repeatable investigations to answer questions including, as appropriate, deciding the variables to be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests; describing potential risks; planning for the safe use of equipment and materials; and identifying required permissions to conduct investigations on Country/Place

AC9S6I04 9

Construct and use appropriate representations, including tables, graphs and visual or physical models, to organise and process data and information and describe patterns, trends and relationships

AC9S6I03 9

Use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate

ACSIS103 8.4

Decide which variables should be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests and accurately observe, measure and record data

VCSIS086

Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations

VCSIS082

With guidance, pose questions to clarify practical problems or inform a scientific investigation, and predict what the findings of an investigation might be based on previous experiences or general rules

VCSIS087

Suggest improvements to the methods used to investigate a question or solve a problem

VCSSU075

The growth and survival of living things are affected by the physical conditions of their environment

VCSIS088

Communicate ideas and processes using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and to identify simple cause-and-effect relationships

VCSIS083

With guidance, plan appropriate investigation types to answer questions or solve problems and use equipment, technologies and materials safely, identifying potential risks
